Q: Can limewater be used as in indicator in some reactions?ok thanks!

A: Yes. Lime water is a pure calcium hydroxide solution. Hydroxides react with acids to form salts. If you blow CO2 through the lime water it forms carbonic acid which reacts immediately to form calcium carbonate. As it is practically insoluble in water the lime water turns milky. So it is a reagent for CO2.

Carbon dioxide gives milky color with limewater due to the formation of which of the following?

Q: Carbon dioxide gives milky color with limewater due to the formation of which of the following?A) CaOB) CaCO3C) Ca(OH)2D) Ca(HCO3)2

A: B)Calcium carbonate precipitates according to the reaction equation:Ca(OH)₂(aq) + CO₂(g) → CaCO₃(s)↓ + H₂O
